N.J. Teacher Reprimanded For Inviting Students To Watch Beheading

POSTED: 1:58 pm EDT May 19, 2004

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- A high school teacher who invited students to watch a tape of the beheading of an American in Iraq after a classroom discussion has been reprimanded.

David Trethaway, superintendent of the Central Regional High School district, said the unidentified social studies teacher made the offer Friday after a current events class in which the execution of Nick Berg was discussed. The video was on an Internet site and the teacher allowed students to watch it on his classroom computer, but made it clear they were not obligated to view it.

"It was poor judgment," Trethaway said, adding that a letter of reprimand had been placed in the veteran teacher's file and no further disciplinary action was planned.

Trethaway said the matter came under review after a parent called the Ocean County school on Monday and asked about the incident. He said the teacher cooperated with administrators in the review.
